Verse 51
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Ver. 51. And shall cut him asunder ] Gr. διχοτομησει , shall cut him in twain, that is, tear his soul from his body by main force, Job 27:8 , throw him out of the world, as it were, by a firma eiectione, and hurl him into hell, there to undergo most exquisite torments, such as they did here that were sawn asunder, Hebrews 11:36-38 ; hewn in pieces, as Agag, 1 Samuel 15:33 ; torn limb from limb, as Daniel 3:29 ; 2 Samuel 12:31 .
And appoint him his portion with hypocrites ] Hypocrites then are the freeholders of hell; other sinners are but as tenants and inmates to them, μερος , id quod in divisione obtigit. Lorin.
